Behold just a few of the sources:<br /><br />- Any video, TV, or film appearance by James Suckling.<br /><br />- Randomly clicking any article in the eBob or Wine Spectator forums.<br /><br />- Any of the 750,267 blog articles about what someone else said on the eBob or WS forums.<br /><br />- Any one of my blog posts form the last 18 months.<br /><br />You doth protest too much, I think.1WineDudehttp://www.1winedude.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-49905226715024704742010-01-21T17:59:11.164-08:002010-01-21T17:59:11.164-08:00Hey Charlie,

Though I do plenty of it. But I often feel myself beating a dead horse, which is not, by the way, a metaphor for self-abuse. And, of course, it&#39;s the deafening silence that resounds after my every post that wears on me.<br /><br /><br />Hey Tobias,<br /><br />Long-time follower, first time commenter. Thanks for chiming in. <br /><br />Palin is an easy target, and I&#39;m not immune to laziness. And, to be honest, I never have the faintest idea what&#39;s going to flow from my faucet, I just turn the valve and out comes this crap. I&#39;ve had &quot;Hole Sailors&quot; in my brain for a while, she just stepped into that land mine. <br /><br />I do have a rather strange mind.Ron Washam, HMWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-17599547701657550302010-01-21T17:15:46.174-08:002010-01-21T17:15:46.174-08:00Great post, Mr. HMW!

You recognize that you are only as good as your next column, joke, story--and that is a big load to carry. So, stop worrying. We will carry you.<br /><br />And if that is not enough, well, we will send you samples to review. I have a few you might want to try.<br /><br />And if you are looking for blog topics, you could do worse than to read Heimoff these days. He has corraled the market on nutcases who think that only their own wines are any good and everything else is trash. <br /><br />I try not to raise my voice in such settings but it was all I could do today to avoid calling one of those posters/poseurs an idiot to his face.<br /><br />So, believe me, Ron, there is plenty of material left to lampoon.Charlie Olkenhttp://www.cgcw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-85378507629806794932010-01-20T08:46:54.327-08:002010-01-20T08:46:54.327-08:00Hey Gang,

I feel ya kid, I feel myself suffocating under the pompus burping of the self appointed, &quot;serious wine&quot; bloggers...the likes of which will wow us with their profound understanding of the complexities of Crane Lake Shiraz. I would rather have you pick my nose than read that shit. You may be a grumpy bastard but I come here for a voice, a voice of reason and a voice willing to call bullshit on what really is kind of a joke...award handing out, self promoting, lonely people that use their geekdom to feel cool, or worse...superior. <br />I adore you and I&#39;m first up if you confess to needing that hug.Samantha Duganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-40702793865448913272010-01-19T13:54:00.149-08:002010-01-19T13:54:00.149-08:00Ron,
